Buckingham Palace

Monday, September 15th, this past weekend, I went to some Sql Server training on Saturday in Hatfield close to London.  Linda went shopping.  While we were down there, we decide we were going on a tour of Buckingham Palace.  I was able to take some pictures of the Royal Mews and outside the palace in the Royal Garden.  This is the picture you see when they are standing on the balcony.  The Royal Mews is where all the horses, cars and carriages are kept.  I got a picture of the carriage which brought Princess Diana to her wedding.  After we toured the Royal Mews, we went through the Queens Gallery.  We could not take pictures in there.  It had a lot of pictures the kings and queens had gathered over the years. And last but not least, we got to tour the State Rooms in the Palace.  They also had the Ballroom completely outfitted like it would be when the Queen entertains the heads of State.  It was awesome.  Again, no pictures where allowed inside.  So, here are the pictures I was able to take.  Now for this week's word.  What is a wheelie bin?
